Same Sex Marriage Details

I have recently updated the marriage details for a same sex couple following the death of one of the spouses.

Add a link to the contribution status at the top of the “Contribution Confirmation” e-mail, more efficient for our productivity.

Feedback: allow a review I just submitted to be edited

I made a typo in the title of my review so I immediately submitted a fixed review. It appears they might have been submitted as separate reviews based on the fact the contribution numbers are different. In the future it should be possible to edit the original review and re-submit.

Streamlining the "Type" section for the New Title page

I've seen would-be contributors on various social media platforms complain that adding a new title to IMDb is confusing. Streamlining the Type section could make things easier.

Please remove the required characters of 600 from the review function. Or limit to much lower. I may have a short review. Include a sort feature which allows us to filter by this is you must.
